Director: Michael Anderson

Rating: 6/10
Made-for-TV adaptation of a Jack London novel; worth it for seeing Charles Bronson in a more "intellectual" role than usual.

Na Srebrnym Globie (On The Silver Globe)
Year: 1988
Director: Andrzej Zulawski
Writer: Andrzej Zulawski
Rating: 6.5/10
A promising philosophical sci-fi that quickly becomes mired by its extreme length, frenzied soliloquies, borderline nonsensical plot, and unruly direction; worth watching to the end in a masochistic sort of way.
